My uncle was MIA along with the rest of the crew on „All American Girl“ 42-37936 over Gladbach on January 10, 1945. They flew out of Thorps Abbey 351st Bomb Squadron. MACR #11744. The plane listed here as the „All American Girl“ is 42-97981 out of Snetterton lost November 21, 1944, salvaged January 3, 1945. The family story about the plane included that it had made a forced landing due to an engine out about a month earlier, but that the landing was in France and later recovered.
Were there two „All American Girl“s? This plane was renowned for having flown 98 missions. Is one plane misidentified or did one take the name for the other?
Please help with any information you can find.

Hello Dewey,
your uncle’s „All American Girl“ is this one in my database:
https://b17flyingfortress.de/en/b17/42-37936-the-all-american-girl-aka-berlin-boys-aka-hang-the-expense-iii-aka-our-mark/
„All American Girl“ was at least name of three different B-17s.
Cheers
Jing
